sDid you ever see white or a gray horse
overcome by the heatl" asked well known
livery stable keeper yesterday.
The gentleman to whom the question was
directed put on bis thinking cap. The rarity
of such an occurrence had never before sug-
gested itself to him, and although he was
among thousands of horses every day and had
seen hundreds overcome, he could not recall a
single instance in which white or gray
horse had been Frustrated by the suns rays
"The cases of prostration among white or
gray horses are very rare" continued the
horseman. ave have forty or fifty of them
among the $50 we employ, and never knew
of but one that gave out from the effects of
the heat in my experience of twenty years in
stable. This, too, was hardly fair case, as
the horse was pulling a heavy coupe, which
was overloaded, up one of Fairmounts steep
hills. His illness was only momentary, and
as soon as he received little care he was all
right again"
"Can l account for itl'
"Well, not exactly. But l suppose that
white or gray does not attract the heat like
darker colors You have probably noticed
this in your dress. A black, shiny surfaced
tOsAt oecitls 10 DuiU your Nefy HeS1,
while a garment of light colored cloth ap-
pears cool and breezy. This isprobably why
white or gray horses stand the heat better
They are not so susceptible to the suns rays.
Keep sharp lookout after this, and you
will see that cases where white or gray horses
succumb to the heat are as rare as the dead
donkey in England"
A veterinary surgeon, speaking on the same
subject said that the liveryman's theory that
the light colors did not attract the heat SO
readily as the darker ones was correct
'This is well known" said the surgeon, 'in
many of the countries where the climate is
very warm, and for this reason alone horses
OF dark eolors are rarely seen. In Cuba white,
gray or sorrel horses bring high prices, while
blacks and dark bays can be bought for q
song. The people of the weather. class will
not buy them at all, and, as consequence
no dark horses are brought into the country

A Political Distinction

The capitol builaing of Iowa is
draped in mourning because 4 re-
publican senator has died. A few
months ago a vice president of the
United States died, but the CAPT toll

In Grape! o, no! The vice presi.
dent was not republican. Hide
bound republican bosses have no
respect for national officials unless
they are republicans. We do not
advise putting out signs Of mourn
ing where there is no mourning, as
Is the custom, but we despise the
narrow gauge regency that make
the people seem to mourn only upon
q party basis.-Iowa Tribune.
